Thousands of turns of fine copper wire are wound around a bobbin, combined with magnets and sealed to produce a guitar pickup. Heating cables are embedded in cast concrete furniture, brass tubes and valves are assembled into water-well cylinders, and resin-coated glass fibres are drawn into insulated handles that are fitted with tool heads and tested against high voltage.

Innerspring Mattresses, Stand-Up Paddle Boards, Vacuum Cleaners

Steel wire is formed into coils and combined with layers of cotton, polyester and upholstered fabric to build innerspring mattresses. Fibreglass and resin are laminated around moulds to form stand-up paddle boards, while electric motors, fans, filters, housings and controls are assembled and tested in both bagged and bagless vacuum cleaners.
